If your looking for a ftp client based on Motif try nxftp...

Taken from the Index for the public ftp directory "pub/ncsu_motif"
on osl.csc.ncsu.edu

nxftp.1.0.tar.Z - Version 1.0 of a Motif shell for the ftp command by Buck
	Hodges. Makes connecting to anonymous ftp sites much more
	pleasurable by adding a point and click user interface,
	the ftp session. Use binary mode to transfer the file,
	since it is compressed.
